Steinberger Models When I worked for Steinberger back in 1990/1991, I was primarily responsible for naming all the models, I came up with the names Legend, Matrix, Racer & Performer for the L,M, R & P series. The headstock series was called a Sceptre. I believed that the guitars should have an identifying name that people could remember. I didn't become completely fluent on Steinberger nomenclature till about 6 months after I picked up all the merchandise in their closed warehouse sometime in early 1997. I know when I worked there there were always naming conflicts going on all the time and 95% of the employees didn't know the actual names of all the models. It's very confusing to say the least. Well Ovation already had used the name "Legend" so very few people in the USA ever got the printed literature pertaining to the names. Europeans still call me for the Matrix or the Legend. There was a short period where they changed the names to "Elite" There was the GT Pro era and God knows how many other naming conventions that never seemed to stick for long. Below is the original number & letter designations, Confusing as they are, I decided to use this as a universal way to distinguish one from another. Ed Roman |
